Party Girl: Wedding Edition- Five Fetes.

Now, don't get too excited. I don't have any special announcements to make (sorry, Mom) but considering that it is wedding season (and countless friends of mine will be walking down the aisle come winter) I couldn't help but feature my take on a ridiculously extravagant wedding. Well, actually, there are five fetes below to be exact, (more is more right?) ranging the wedding spectrum from even the most non-conformist of brides (Balmain tux, hello) to a classic look that would be fit for any princess (Vera to the rescue!) All of course feature the fabulous wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas or as I like to call it, stationary heaven. No matter what kind of bride you are (or whatever kind of parties you throw) their stationary is the perfect precursor (and ending- see their lovely thank you cards) to every unforgettable fete. Because we all know that without the right invite... there would be no party to attend! Don't forget to share you favorite fete in the comments section. File this one as party on.
